Hi, I am using JDK1.1.6v5 on a RedHat 5.1 system. The java interpreter seems to work (although I haven't tried it out with any programs which use the AWT) however when I launch Appletviewer it complains about no library path being set. If I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /lib then this error disappears but it complains about something else. I don't know much about library paths but a friend told me that I shouldn't need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to anything for appletviewer to work. It is possible that this is an Appletviewer specific problem, or it may be a general problem with anything which attempts to use the AWT. I don't have further details to hand right now but I could provide them if nescessary. Any ideas anyone?
